Kenley Jansen had one of the best seasons a closer has had in recent memory before getting roughed up in the World Series last season. This season, Kenley Jansen has been part of the struggles of the bullpen. Jansen blew only one save in the regular season last year going 41-42 in save opportunities. This season, Jansen has already blown two saves and is 6-8 on the season.
Part of Kenley’s struggles to start the season has been poor command and lower velocity to begin the season. Last season Jansen walked only seven batters and this season he has already walked six hitters.
